Netflix Reveals First Look Clip From Its Anticipated Spin-Off QUEEN CHARLOTTE: A BRIDGERTON STORY
Over the weekend, Netflix had its annual TUDUM presentation in which they previewed many of the new shows and movies coming to the streamer in the next year. One of these previews highlighted the anticipated spin-off series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. The clip from the series stars “India Amarteifio — the incredible young actress who, along with the dynamic duo of Golda Rosheuvel and Adjoa Andoh, will reveal the origins of our beloved Queen Charlotte in a brand new series from Shonda Rhimes.”
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is also set to feature Michelle Fairley (Gangs of London) as Princess Augusta; Corey Mylchreest (Sandman) as Young King George; Arsema Thomas in her television debut as Young Agatha Danbury; Sam Clemmett (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – West End and Broadway) as Young Brimsley; Richard Cunningham (The Witcher) as Lord Bute; Tunji Kasim (Nancy Drew) as Adolphus; Rob Maloney (Casualty) as the Royal Doctor; Cyril Nri (Cucumber) as Lord Danbury; and Hugh Sachs returning as Bridgerton's Brimsley.
Here’s the full description of the Queen Charlotte series:
"Betrothed to the mysterious King of England against her will, Charlotte arrives in London only to realize she was not exactly what the royals were expecting. As she learns to navigate the palace, the 'ton, and her unpredictable husband, she grows into one of Europe's most unforgettable monarchs."
In addition to the TV series about Queen Charlotte, the character is also going to lead a prequel book series. It was announced earlier this year that Shonda Rhimes will be co-writing a novel adaptation of Charlotte's backstory with Julia Quinn, the author of the Bridgerton books. The book will explore Charlotte's relationship with King George, revealing how they met and how their love created a massive social shift in the world around them.
